 DUBAI,
March 17 (Reuters) - A Sunni rebel group said on Friday it was behind an
attack that killed 22 people in a remote region in southeastern Iran that
officials had blamed on bandits, Al Arabiya
television said.
A caller speaking for Jundollah (God's Soldiers)
said the group had attacked the convoy of a provincial governor, killing 22
soldiers, and took seven hostages, including a senior security official,
the satellite channel said.
The group, which has kidnapped Iranian soldiers, demanded the release of
members detained by Iran,
Arabiya said.
